Scholarships

In the School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS), we recognize that tuition cost is a major factor in the decision to return to college and finish your degree. Due to the generosity of various donors, foundations and grants, SCPS is able to offer numerous scholarships and awards to support returning college students. Most awards are determined based on academic performance and demonstrated financial need.

Award opportunities and amounts will vary from semester to semester and may be applied toward tuition only. Most scholarship opportunities are renewable; however students must apply each semester. Award recipients are required to send a letter of acknowledgement to each scholarship foundation, donor, or scholarship trustee.

Review billing/reimbursement options. Billing options are available to students receiving reimbursement from their employers. Students can also arrange for deferred billing.
